Disclaimer: I received a complimentary advanced copy of Alice Through the Looking Glass on Blu-Ray & DVD combo pack in exchange for my honest review. I was not persuaded to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.

This month I had the pleasure of watching the delightfully-mad movie Alice Through the Looking Glassbefore its release date. Having not watched this film when it was in theatres I was overjoyed at this opportunity.

For those who grew up with Disney’s animated version of Alice as a staple in their video collection, you may remember the a simple girl who was always daydreaming. The Alice of the modern tale is a little bit more of a tomboy and far more adventurous, but a daydreamer nevertheless. In this sequel to 2010’s rendition of Alice in Wonderland, you’ll find that Alice Through the Looking Glasshas all the characters (and same actors!) that you fell in love with.

This fairytale not only whisks you away to a colorful and cuckoo Wonderland, or Underland as the native residents refer to it, but you are also taken on a delightful journey through time. As the storyline unfolds you learn that Alice must save the Hatter from going completely mad by traveling through time to prevent the death of his family, the Hightopps.

My personal favorite scenes took place in the realm of Time that Alice ventures into. The quirky and imaginative twist on what or should I say who ‘Time’ is really made for an enjoyable plotline. I’m sure you will enjoy this element to the film as well! One particular thing that I feel this movie lacked was character building. It felt as though the viewers were expected to remember the characters from the previous film and there was no additional depth added to the history of any characters, other than the Hatter.
